and go get your eyes checked if you dont think a movie's picture quality drastically changes from dvd to bluray.....it's one thing to say you dont care for it, but dont deny the clear fact that it improves picture quality amazingly.

I did NOT state that there is no difference....I simply stated the difference isn't worth an extra $15/movie, and that I could care less if the movie has sharper visuals

Not taking sides but some DVDs are $30 but there are a helluva lot that aren't. I have yet to spend $30 on a Blu-Ray disc and off the top of my head I have: 300, Dark Knight, Transformers 1&2, Star Trek, Patriot, Live Free or Die Hard, Hang Over, Entrapment, The Rock, Boondock Saints, 21, and a few others. I've spent on avg b/w $15-$20.

PS: I have both a PS3 and 360

The demo was pretty good and the God of War series so far has been freakin bad a$$!!!! It's one of those games that lets you take out all of your frustrations...can't wait!!

Sure am glad my entire gamer tag and achievements are not only stored on my hard drive, but also on a Microsoft server. That way I won't lose anyhthing but a few saved games if someone decides to format my hard drive, and I can also download my GT to any xbox and play on my own profile. I'd WAY rather send in my xbox and not have it for a week or 2 as opposed to losing all of my achievements (trophies). And just u watch...PSN won't be free for long....And don't come back with some bluray junk ass excuse either....i don't have ANY intrest in hi-def movies.....who wants to pay $15 more for the same exact movie, only a little better picture....sures hell not me...I watch a movie for it's storyline, not what it looks like

EDIT: and BTW....sony's exclusive game selection sucks. I'd hate not being able to play Mass Effect, Fable, or Gears of War....yeah I intentionally left out gaylo. the ONLY playstation exclusive I want to play is uncharted and it's sequal....all the other ones look sub-par
1. FAIL on so many levels...lol, PSN is fixed and trophies were not lost but Restorded. It is not like xbox live has not had issues in the past, remeber when xbox live crashed a couple years ago. no company is perfect, but good companys will corect there issues quickly for consumers.

2. It sounds like you don't have a PS3, so as a multi-console owner this is IMVHO. today (it is not 2006 anymore) PSN and xbox live are bascialy equal. the only advantage xbox live has is that every single xbox comes with a Head set (very good for comunication) and Cross game voice chat (not a big deal IMO but other people like it.), Thats it.

3.Your statement about Exculsives is out right false and hilarious. Sony has waaaaaaaaaaayy more exclusives (and better IMO) than the 360 largely because sony has more 1st and 2nd party studios than Microsoft and nintendo combined. The only exclusive I play on the 360 thats pretty good is Gears and Mass effect (my little bro is currently playing Mass effect 2). Honestly exclusive wise on the 360 in 2008 was just Gears 2 and multiplats, in 2009 there was nothing exclusively worth playing except forza 3 (unles you are a really big halo fan). IN CONTRAST to the PS3, ever since MGS4 came out in march 2008, there have been a stream of nonstop incredible exclusives for the PS3. It has honestly got to a point where I only buy PS3 exclusives, because eveything else seems like a joke in comparison when it come to the quality of the games.

My personal PS3 exclusives are: MGS4 (incredible), littlebigPlanet, Resistance 1+2, Uncharted 1, Uncharted 2(incredible), Killzone 2 (incredible), Infamous (incredible), GT5 Prologue, Heavy Rain (incredible but not for everyone), and soon to be God of War 3, some other but I cant rember off the top of my head. But notice that the exclusives are not just a bunch of shooters.

2010 is looking much better for the 360, alot of the games that are comeing out for it are the sequals to the games that came out in 2007. But Sony Still have more exclusives this year. Competition is great for consumers, Glad to see the 360 actualty bring some exclusive games this year, they have been too dependant on 3rd party. In 2007 the 360 was my console choice, but in 2008 to present, it is my PS3, they Have just too many Kick-Ass games to be ignored, plus all the great mutliplatform titles. Just my .02cents

No it is not, Dantes inferno is a Multiplatform game, it more aimed at the ps3 crowd than the 360 (the ps3 had a timed exclusive demo). It was a smart move, because EA knows that outside of the shooter genre Dantes inferno will sell pretty much on par or more on the PS3. and Dantes inferno is not a shooter game , but an action/adventure Hack n Slash. IMO xbox is a very shooter centric console.

I've been seriously thinking of jumping on a slightly used PS3 just for this game. The more I look at the PS3, the less I want it.

But the more I look at GOW3 the more I want it....

Thats how I was but when you Buy and play a PS3 exclusive, it is hard to go back, and it makes everything in comparision seems like a down grade..lol. God of war 3 is looking like to continue that trend.

I have to admit, I am a God of War fanboy.
But other PS3 exclusives just do nothing to me, and graphics differences between PS3 and Xbox360 are minimal for me to jump on a PS3 right now.

I realized something last night when I saw the Game Stop commercial for God of War III: They are using the beast from the 6th Trumpet Judgement from the Great Tribulation period...this scares the crap out of me

I just picked up the God of War Collection (1 & 2) for the PS3 since I've never played either and I'm wondering where have I been! They did a pretty damn good up bringing the graphics up, minus the cut scenes. I'm just about to beat the first one and I'm ready to jump on the 2nd one before I pick up my copy of GOW III next Tuesday
